The Royal Multiverse

[royalmultiverse]

I used to write on FiMfiction years ago. I haven't in a while. But following your AU story of Nomad Twilight... I'm almost itching to write up a story for this one. What do you think? If I ever find the motivation to write, will you allow me to try to write this story? I'll just take whatever you draw and build up on each drawing as it's own chapter. It's okay if you decide to say no. I don't mind. Just would like to know your thoughts.

I don’t mind writing spin-offs at all. The later bits of this might be my own mini-fics for each pic, but y’know, I ain’t gonna stop you from putting your own spin on things.

Some long overdue Nomad updates. I WAS going to write longer blurbs about these, basically miniature fics... but eh, not really needed just yet.

Celestia is cementing her place as a mentor figure to Twilight, teaching her all the spells she’ll need to know to survive the journey through the mountains. Things like barriers against the wind and snow to what weaknesses the windigos have.

And then later, Twilight gets to practice those spells with Luna. 

The snow is melting in the forest valley which means it will soon clear up enough to get through the mountains.

Decided to get Spike’s hatching out in a small series of sketches.

When the sisters and Novo went outside to talk, the ever curious Twilight wanted a closer look at the egg. And while she is just as inquisitive as her Prime counterpart, she severely lacks the same level of education about the intricacies of magic.

So when she picked up the egg, she didn’t bother looking for what magic Celestia left on the egg. And like the falling of the first domino, Twilight’s clumsy magic set off a chain reaction.

One blast of uncontrolled magic later and Twilight was looking down at a tiny dragon. The baby was all smiles and cooed and gurgled just like a tiny foal would, reaching up to be picked up. She couldn’t help it, she had to pick him up.

Luna was the first through the door after the magic blast. And to her surprise, there was Twilight holding the baby dragon, looking very nervous.

After making sure they were both okay, the sisters then had the privilege of telling Twilight that by being the first thing he saw and then holding him, she had imprinted herself on him. In his eyes, she was his mother.

I fully support anon’s idea of her being captured and enslaved. The rest.... Not as much on board.

I prefer the idea that she escaped, got caught up with the wrong crowd for a while, perhaps some raiders. But when she was commanded to kill a pony slave, she rebelled.

It’s now her life’s work to free other enslaved ponies.Perhaps she’s even built up her own band/herd and they make a living stealing from slavers and other unsavory types.

Tia and Luna trying out their unicorn disguises for later in the spring when the mountain passes are finally free of the many feet of snow and ice, fierce howling winds die down and the windigos are fewer and weaker.

The first signs of spring bring mixed feelings

I've read some mass effect style of MLP with the readers getting to vote which direction it was going some time back tho i am not sure if it was one of yours. If it was, I'd love to see that again especially if its TwiLuna-centric... thank you if it was you and if it wasn't, thank you anyway for your dedication.

That was very likely mine. Voters had story direction choices.

AU List

Just writing down all the ideas I have for future AU’s once I wrap up Nomadverse. And yes, they’re pretty much all Twiluna-centric. I am trash. It is known.

GhostAU: (Uses canon-verse. AU to Royal Sketchbook) Twilight turns out to NOT be immortal. And when she passes on, she lingers to make sure Luna will be okay. She conspires with Celestia to make sure Luna takes care of herself and moves on.

Archaeologist-verse: Twilight is straight-up Indiana Jones, a scholar who goes on thrill-filled excursions with Spike as her trusty sidekick. She discovers the remnants of an ancient civilization of odd ponies who had the horns of unicorns, the wings of pegasi and the strength of earth ponies...

Magic Effect:  (Possible future to Royal Sketchbook) Remember that old comic I once tried to do before realizing it was waaaay too much work? Basically the world around it and how MLP and Mass Effect universes merged.

Hidden Village: (Uses canon-verse. AU to Royal Sketchbook)  Twilight, Luna and a retinue of ponies go to the home island of the Minotaurs to deescalate rising tensions with the yaks.But things go south and before they can get off the island, the Minotaurs declare war on Yakyakistan and all their allies, including Equestria. So the princesses work to keep all the ponies who were on the island nation safe. So the ponies go deep into the wilderness and try to survive.

Arranged Marriage: I can’t help myself. I loved @earthsong9405’s Arranged Marriage AU and the general premise of trying to make such an arrangement work. Though this will probably be more akin to Game of Thrones than Earthsong’s AU. Families vie with each other to get their kid married off to one of the immortal, Heavenly sisters to cement their power within the Empire. It is well known they can marry off their sons to Celestia and their daughters to Luna. When one house manages to first get their son married off to an adopted imperial niece and then their daughter to one of the co-empresses, the other noble houses are not happy.

There’s probably a few more that will get added in later.

Not all fun and games and snuggles for Twi. She’s desperately missing home and her family. She’s stares off into the mountains that separate the forest from the steppes, waiting for the snow to melt enough to pass through them, even if that’s several months from now.

[royalmultiverse]

As spring approaches, Shining makes sure to inform everypony he knows and who knows Twilight to keep an eye and ear out for news about Twilight. He asks them to ask about her at any trading post and village they come across.

[royalmultiverse]

Not to put a damper on the fun, but I'm assuming that during all this Twilights family thinks she's totes deceased?

They do. Well, they each hold out some hope that she escaped her captors but they fear the worst. So they built a small cairn for her and adorned it with any wild flowers they could find.

Shining in particular refuses to believe his sister is actually dead. But in the dead of winter, he can’t go off searching for her... But he has plans when the spring comes.

So there is a total of three more AUs in our future? Nice! Any of them by chance scream "Chryslestia"?

....mmmmmaybe

I take full responsibility.

I’m reblogging it here because this arose from a conversation about another au idea I had. Maybe after the nomads brainworm is sated, I’ll get to this... or maybe one of the other two ideas I had...

[royalmultiverse]

Celestia walks in to Luna’s room for quite a surprise.

[royalmultiverse]

Stargazing with the Goddess of the Night... Getting to listen to amazing stories about bygone eras, learn even more about the stars and planets... and getting her flirt on.
